Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is driven by continuous innovations in processing techniques and machinery, meeting the growing demand for various bake shop products in the processed food industry. Consumers are increasingly seeking healthy baked goods, driving manufacturers to invest in technologically advanced equipment and autonomous systems. Automation and robotics are key trends, streamlining production processes and ensuring food safety. However, challenges such as the high cost of technologically advanced equipment and the need for skilled operators remain significant hurdles in the Industrial Bakery industry. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

The rise in demand for frozen bakery products is notably driving the market growth. Globally, the increase in demand for various convenience food products led to the rise in demand for frozen baked products like frozen bread, frozen cake and pastries, frozen pizza crust, waffles, donuts, and cookies. The global change in lifestyle and dietary habits leads to an increase in the acceptance of food products such as frozen bake shop products.

Moreover, freezing retains the freshness and quality of bakeshop products. The preference of consumers for nutritious and appealing products with long shelf lives, enhanced taste, and quality has also increased the demand for various frozen bakeshop products. The high demand for ready-to-bake and ready-to-thaw frozen bakery products will also fuel the growth of the market. Frozen pizza products are one of the most popular products among customers, and it includes frozen pizzas and frozen pizza crusts. Globally, the growth of supermarkets and bakery establishments has resulted in an increase in demand for consumer-ready frozen bakery products. Therefore, such factors may fuel the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trend

The introduction of new products is an emerging trend in the market. To gain a competitive edge over contenders, companies are investing in the development of new products. Also, companies operating in the market are forming strategic partnerships with peers or acquiring other companies to expand their market. Market participants are opting for these partnerships and acquisitions for access to new clients. It also helps market players to gain access to new production techniques that can help them to improve their products.

Moreover, many times, these partnerships and acquisitions also help market players to expand their geographic footprints. Some major companies in the global market have been trying to improve their competitive advantage in the market by introducing new products with advanced features. For example, in November 2020, Schenck Process Holding GmbH acquired Baker Perkins, a UK-based global provider of food processing equipment and aftermarket services for the bake shop, confectionery, food extrusion, breakfast cereal, pet food and biscuit, and cookie and cracker end-markets. Hence, such factors will positively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

The existing market for used and refurbished equipment is a major challenge impeding the market. Most bakeshop processing companies prefer high-end processing equipment to ensure the quality of output and to enhance productivity. However, some small-scale manufacturers with limited capital may prefer to spend on used or refurbished equipment as it decreases their expenditure, thereby increasing overall profitability.

Moreover, used and refurbished machines are widely available in the market at moderate prices. Some major companies of bake shopprocessing equipment, such as pro-Bake, and Koenig, also offer used machines. Some companies, such as Prestige Industrial Bakeware, offer refurbished or re-engineered equipment. Some third-party suppliers such as Brook Food, Lehman Sales Associates, All Food Equipment, Hilco, Frain Industries, Special Projects International, and Danish Industrial Equipment also offer pre-used bake shop processing equipment. The increase in the availability of used and refurbished equipment may encourage small bake shop processors to buy these products. It may reduce sales of new equipment from industrial bake shop processing equipment manufacturers, thereby affecting the overall growth of the market.
